course

COURSE OUTLINE

The objective of the course is to expose to the students to the architecture and instruction
set of typical 8-bit microprocessor. It also deals with Assembly Language Programming
NPTEL
using a macro-assembler. Input-output techniques and important programmable support http://nptel.ac.in
chips used in microprocessor-based systems are discussed in detail.
